Victorian Pool of Light Rock Crystal Heart Locket 9ct Gold
A fabulous heart-shaped ‘Pool of Light’ rock crystal locket set in 9ct gold. Formed as a puffy heart, this rare locket is a true stand-out piece.
A lovely item with curved glass and a nice gold rim. Looks so pretty with a chunky or fine chain. I love how cooling this feels against bare skin.
The 9ct gold frame and hinge are in excellent condition.
This piece looks incredible on—eye-catching, elegant, and wonderfully unique. Heart pools are rare to find these days.
Pools of Light jewellery first became cherished in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, from the 1880s into the early 1900s. People were fascinated by the way undrilled rock crystal appears to hold its own inner glow—almost like a tiny captured universe of light.
Victorian women often wore these pieces in photos because the crystal caught the light beautifully. They wore them not just for looks, but also because they believed rock crystal brought calm, protection, and good luck.
Style it with a spring bolt ring for a bold look, or wear it alone. Either way, this locket takes centre stage as true neck art.
